Improving bisectability would obviously help with other testing efforts
too - we have existing users, Guillaume Tucker implemented automated
bisection support in KernelCI which is incredibly useful providing one
can actually bisect.  Right now it works pretty well a lot of the time
but there are cases where it gets messy, especially when you add boot
issues onto the buildability ones.
